Minecraft:Drops

File:Skeleton drops.png

Drops from a skeleton: an Minecraft:experience orb, Minecraft:arrow, and Minecraft:bone.

Drops are items that appear when Minecraft:mobs and some other Minecraft:entities die or when most kinds of Minecraft:blocks are broken.

Types of drops

Mobs do not drop any of the following if the game rule Template:Gmr is set to Template:Cd.

Common drops

Common drops may appear at the location of a Minecraft:mob at the moment it receives fatal damage. Most mobs have certain items that they may drop when killed. Some common drops, such as Minecraft:leather, don't always drop, but have a large chance (at least 50%, depending on the drop range) to do so. Some common drops, such as Minecraft:blaze rods, don't drop at all if the mob was not killed by the Minecraft:player.

Each of these items has a drop range, which is a random uniform distribution of numbers of items that drop. For example, a Minecraft:cow drops 0–2 leather items and 1–3 Minecraft:raw beef items. Because the range for leather includes 0, there is a Template:Frac chance of no leather being dropped.

A Minecraft:baby animal does not drop any common drops upon death.

Looting

Some common and uncommon drops are affected by the Minecraft:Looting enchantment. At most, a number of additional items equal to enchantment level are dropped.

More specifically, the game generates a fractional number ranging from 0 to the Looting level, which is then rounded to the nearest integer. This causes the numbers in the middle of drop range to occur twice as often. The probabilities are as follows:

Looting extra items

Looting level	No items	1 item	2 items	3 items
Looting I	Template:Frac	Template:Frac	--	--
Looting II	Template:Frac	Template:Frac	Template:Frac	--
Looting III	Template:Frac	Template:Frac	Template:Frac	Template:Frac

A Minecraft:stray's tipped Minecraft:arrow is a special case: while Looting can attempt to increase arrow drop amount, the final number of dropped arrows is capped at 1. So, Looting effectively increases arrow dropping odds, up to Template:Frac with Looting III.

Rare drops

Rare drops normally appear if the monster is killed by a player (see Template:Slink below), although some rare drops can also be obtained by other means. Rare drops are always a single item, but may appear in conjunction with other common drops. A drop is considered rare if they are accompanied by the random_chance_with_looting condition in the mob's Minecraft:loot table.

Rare drops typically have a 2.5% chance of dropping, plus 1 percentage point per level of Minecraft:Looting on the weapon used (up to a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III). An exception to this is that a Minecraft:rabbit drops a Minecraft:rabbit's foot with a 10% chance, plus 3 percentage points per level of Looting (to a maximum of 19% with Looting III). Template:In there are other exceptions: a Minecraft:wither skeleton drops a Minecraft:wither skeleton skull with a 2.5% chance plus 2 percentage points per level of Looting (to a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III), and a Minecraft:drowned drops a Minecraft:copper ingot with an 11% chance plus 2 percentage points per level of looting (to a maximum of 17% with Looting III).

Note that in case of multiple rare drops (Minecraft:guardian and Minecraft:zombie types) the 2.5% chance is split between them, instead of being rolled for each item.

The Minecraft:shulker shell is technically also a rare drop, only ever dropping in singles from Minecraft:shulkers, although they don't require a player kill, have a 50% base chance, and increase by 6.25% per Looting level.Template:Only

Equipped items

File:Power Bow Rare Drop.png

An enchanted bow received from a skeleton's drops.

When killed by a player or a tamed Minecraft:wolf, a mob can drop equipment and armor that it spawned with. Each piece of equipment the mob was spawned with is dropped with an 8.5% chance Template:In or 25% chance Template:In. Minecraft:Potions and Minecraft:milk buckets temporarily held by Minecraft:witches or Minecraft:wandering traders also have a 8.5% chance of dropping if the mob is killed while holding one; a Minecraft:vex's Minecraft:iron sword, and Minecraft:carved pumpkins and Minecraft:jack o'lanterns worn during Halloween in Java Edition have a 0% chance instead. This value is determined by the mob's drop_chances tag.

The Minecraft:Looting enchantment increases this chance by 1% per level (up to 11.5% in Java Edition or 28% in Bedrock Edition with Looting III). The chance is rolled for each piece of equipment, so it is possible for a mob to drop more than one piece of equipment upon death.

If the item has durability, its damage is defined by the formula: Template:Cd where Template:Cd is the item's maximum damage and Template:Cd is an random integer between Template:Cd and Template:Cd. Thus the damage varies between 4 and the maximum damage, being more likely to have greater damage (if the maximum damage is less than 4, the damage is always equal to the maximum damage). More specifically, the chance of having the chance of having durability Template:Cd, where Template:Cd, is given by the formula Template:Cd, where Template:Cd, which would be the harmonic number n, with Template:Cd.

There are also some equipped items that are guaranteed to drop. In all of these cases, the items are dropped even if the mob is not killed by a player or a tamed wolf.

• All items a mob picks up after spawning are always dropped, even when it isn't killed by a player and even if it is a baby Minecraft:zombie.
  • This is not the case for Minecraft:villagers.
• The item a Minecraft:fox spawns with is always dropped.
• A Minecraft:drowned spawned with a Minecraft:nautilus shell in the off-hand always drops it.
• An ominous banner is always dropped by Minecraft:illagers wearing it.
• Minecraft:Horses, Minecraft:donkeys, Minecraft:mules, Minecraft:llamas, Minecraft:camels, Minecraft:happy ghasts, Minecraft:pigs, and Minecraft:striders drop any Minecraft:items equipped to them by players, like Minecraft:saddles, Minecraft:carpets or Minecraft:chests.

Experience orbs

Experience orbs drop only if a Minecraft:mob dies less than three seconds after being attacked (melee, bow, snowballs, eggs, and potions causing instant damage) by a player or by a player's pet Minecraft:wolf, though not by a player-activated Minecraft:dispenser. Their total value is the specific amount of experience granted by killing that mob. They are also dropped from a thrown Minecraft:bottle o' enchanting. Collected experience accumulates into levels which can be used for Minecraft:enchanting or Minecraft:repairing, or is split equally between accumulating levels and repairing the held tool if said tool is enchanted with Minecraft:mending.

Unlike other drops, such as items, experience orbs appear at the location of the mob's corpse at the moment it disappears in a puff of smoke.Template:Only Experience orbs move toward any nearby players.

Monsters

Weapons, tools, and armor dropped by mobs have at least 25 durability remaining, which is also the most common. Less-damaged items are increasingly rare.

Except for gold swords and tools, items always have at least 26 points of damage taken. Gold items can be dropped un-damaged.

Player kills

For most mobs, only one of the items below can drop in a single death. With the exception of items that have a 100% drop chance, the sponge of an elder guardian and the music disc lava chicken of a baby zombie rinding a chicken, in these cases there the item drops always and has a chance of at least one additional different item dropping. Another exception is the poisonous potato zombie, which has a chance of dropping simultaneously the poision potato plant and the poisonous potato headpiece.

Block drops

Most blocks drop themselves when broken - sometimes Minecraft:Silk Touch enchantment or a specific Minecraft:tool is required. All other cases, when blocks drop something different (or don't drop anything), are listed below. Unbreakable blocks, like Minecraft:bedrock, are not listed. "Obtainable with Silk Touch" column indicates if the block can be collected using the Silk Touch enchantment. See Minecraft:Silk Touch#Obtainable blocks for more information. Minecraft:Fortune enchantment can affect number of block drops and probabilities (but not the type) as well, see Minecraft:Fortune#Usage for more information.

Template:Notelist Notes:

• Blocks marked with "T" need to be broken with a specific tool to drop anything (including Minecraft:experience). The Minecraft:Silk Touch enchantment doesn't remove this requirement.
• Where noted, Minecraft:Fortune can increase the number of dropped items or multiply it. Increase simply gives 0-lvl extra items. Multiplication happen with the following chances:
  • Fortune I: 33% * 2 (33% more on average)
  • Fortune II: 25% * 2, 25% * 3 (75% more on average)
  • Fortune III: 20% * 2, 20% * 3, 20% * 4 (120% more on average)
• Container blocks (Minecraft:barrels, Minecraft:blast furnaces, Minecraft:brewing stands, Minecraft:campfires, Minecraft:chests, Minecraft:chiseled bookshelves, Minecraft:decorated pots, Minecraft:dispensers, Minecraft:droppers, Minecraft:flower pots, Minecraft:furnaces, Minecraft:glow item framesTemplate:Only, Minecraft:hoppers, Minecraft:item framesTemplate:Only, Minecraft:jukeboxes, Minecraft:lecterns, Minecraft:smokers, Minecraft:soul campfires, and Minecraft:trapped chests) drop themselves when broken along with their content.
